I have a set of really cheasy ag-* git scripts to help with this sort of
thing. This is ag-commit. If you just do ag-commit, it'll use the
defined author/committer. If I need to commit a patch that eg Linus did
(hah, fat chance!), I'll just do ag-commit -a "Linus Torvalds
<[email protected]>". -c is for committer (which I never ended up using,
since that's always me), and you can write the changelog up front as
changelog.txt if you choose (which I never ended up using either).
I'm sure there are better ways, but it works fine for me.
#!/bin/bash
TEMP=`getopt -o a:c: --long a-long:,c-long:: -- "$@"`
eval set -- "$TEMP"
AUTHOR="Jens Axboe"
AUTHOR_EMAIL="[email protected]"
COMMITTER="Jens Axboe"
COMMITTER_EMAIL="[email protected]"
while true; do
case "$1" in
-a|--a-long)
AUTHOR=`echo $2 | cut -d '<' -f 1`
AUTHOR_EMAIL=`echo $2 | cut -d '<' -f 2 | sed s/">"//g`
shift 2;;
-c|--c-long)
COMMITTER=`echo $2 | cut -d '<' -f 1`
